Hi Anthony,

thanks for the reply, the src is determined by the XML file as the image is 
dynamic based on a selection which makes the src undeterminable in advance I 
thought you could assign a dynamic value such as

<img src="<%= bVehicle_type %>">

but that didn't work. Are you trying to say that I need the spacer.gif file 
in the src anyway but will be replaced by the XML value based on the image 
id?

Or maybe if I Dim the aspect on the asp page itself that would work?

Regards
Simon
